Re: What got you into gaming?

Sudden Attack Korea about 7 years ago. i got this korean guy to make me an account and download it for me through teamview or something along the lines of teamview. best game ive ever played and to this day i still play it. the game has the highest skill curve of any game ive ever played.

i played games like MAG and Cod and MAG got completely boring. the game was sooooo easy a caveman can have a 5.00 kdr. black ops was fun for awhile but was also amazingly easy to play once again a caveman could hold a good 5.00 kdr. and black ops 2 looks like crap so im not getting it. Sudden Attack is the game ill play till i die. its the perfect game, no over powered guns at all, shotguns are unusable and i luv that because nothings worse than a shotgun noob, the maps are absolutely perfect, the game teaches you sense play, sound play, shadow play, and recoil control up the **bleep**. its the only game where they basically say F you to noobs. and best of all no hackers!

Re: What got you into gaming?

When my son was 8 he wanted the original PlayStation for xmas. Of course he needed help in some of the levels on Crash and Spyro, and I found that I just couldn't put the controller down.

As the years went by, we ended up getting our own separate PS1s, PS2s, and PS3s, and had our own separate game collections as well. So now it's 12 years later and there's still no end in sight.

interesting point there as a parent.

so, just my curiousity, is your son (20 yrs old now based on the assumption) ended up buying Spyro/Crash again or you keep those games for your self ?! is he into PlayStation consoles only or other rivalry consoles ?!

He's now 21 and has given me his PS1 along with all it's games. We only have one copy of any of the games. He no longer plays the PS2 but still holds on to his PS2 collection, even though he now only plays the PS3 exclusively.

Were both into the PlayStation brand only. Never seemed to have enough time to get into any other consoles, even though it seems like most people are into multiple consoles these days.

Re: What got you into gaming?

Sounds like I'm in the same boat as a few other people, I have been gaming so long that I don't remember how it got started. I remember having ghosts 'n goblins at my house and playing it a lot, but I don't remember what got me to my current extreme gamer condition.

Re: What got you into gaming?

I’m the video gamer that I am today because of all of the video games that I have played over the years but it all started in the 4th video game generation with a SEGA Genesis. Those were the days… My favorite video games from way back then were easily Mutant League Hockey, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Mega Bomberman, Road Rash 3: Tour de Force, Primal Rage, and Zombies Ate My Neighbors.

Wow this story sounds a lot like my Dad and I. My first games were Spyro and Crash and he mostly traded off levels, taking turns. I still have my ps1 and ps2 back at my parents house and I exclusively play ps3. I am also 21 years old.

But I don't think my Dad plays any more games of my knowledge . I think the last game that we played together was Twisted Metal 4 or Stronghold 1.
